Asiatic Subjects.
England rules India in different
way than she does the other colonies.

take the place of the ballot-box and
sclf-government. The executive au-
thority is vested in Governor Gen.
eral. who gets 500, 900 year as Il sal
AIRY and $4,000 in, perquisitis. The
Earl of Duferin. who was Governor
General of Canada about eight years
ago, is now at the head of the Indian
Government. He has council of six
members under him. and there is &
Secretary of State for India at London
who attends to the business of the In
dian Government in England and has
control of all matters relating to it.
The Governor General is supreme in
India, but the different provinces have
subordinate Governors, and a number
Of these are governed by native
Princes. England limits, however. the
military force which they can hold,
and does not allow them to send en-
bassadors from one country to the other.
The English army in India is more
than twice as large as that of the
United States, and it consists of about
5000 men. 1t has, in addition to this. q
native army of 124, 600 men. but in case
of war 1t would not be surprising if
these went over to the natives or by
their treachery did the Government
more harm than good. 1t costs $780,
600. 600 year to maintain this English
army in Iddia. and this. of course.

SAN Francisco, August 6.-Vice-
President of the Central Pacific,
Charles T. Crocker, was examined be-
fore the Pacific Railroad Commission
this morning. The information was
ELECTED that at a stockholders meeting,
Crocker presented a resolution absolv-
ing Stanford of all liabilities in Cali
fornia, Utah, District of Columbia,
Nevada, and Arizona.
Witness was asked why he had pre-
sented such a resolution and said +:
ooh l did it because 1 knew generally
Mr.. Stanford had done everything
that was right and the resolution was
simply a ratification OF all the Sem
ator's acts by the stockholders.
Commissioner Pattison asked: :
"What does the reference mean, the
release of liabilities? Now what LA.
bilities are there in the District OF
Columbian"
az am sure l don't know. There
NAV be some or not" replied Crocker
A copy of the resolutions was called
for and Mr.. Cohen promised it should
be produced. Witness also stated that
loans had been made by the Central
Pacific to the Western Development
Company and Pacific Improvement
Company, but never, he thought,
without interest.
Pattison asked witness how it was
that certain large amount of money
had been paid out by him without
voucher, and if money had been paid
to influence legislation. To which
Crocker replied that he did not know.

NOTABLE PURCHASES.
improvements Under Way I'm the
County.

Judge Charles Silent, Dan McFar-
land and N. r. Vail have purchased
from the Dominquez heirs part of the
San Pedro rancho. This part consists
OF l 400 acres and fronts the ocean to
which it slopes from an elevation of
600 feet half a mile back. The land
is what is termed as rolling, but its
nature is such that it is very attractive
and its elevation is such that it over
looks the whole valley and Los An
geles. 1t is to be laid out according to
designs furnished by and under the
supervision of State Engineer w. H.
Hall, who designed and laid out
Golden Gate Park in San Francisco,
and who has been occupied for num-
Der of years in work of similar char
acter for public and private grounds.
An iron pier will be built into the
ocean for pleasure and passenger
boats. The frontage on the beach is
one and a half miles and it is antici-
gated that there will be great deal of
aquatic amusement among those who
take up their future residence here.
Besides the facility for ocean boating
there is large inland lake which will be
dredged and deepened so as to accom-
modate sail and row boats. Near this
point hotel similar to the Del Monte
will be built, and a more attractive
location could not well be imagined
The sewerage, owing to the slope to
the ocean, will be perfect, and there
is an abundance of water which will
be carried over the entire tract. The
ocean beach is sandy and will come
into prominence for its bathing facili-
ties, which cannot be excelled. The
soil of the entire tract is rich and
with very little cultivation the whole
place can be made to resemble huge
garden.
There will be shortly an avenue $50
feet wide from the end of Figueroa
street to the new town of Inglewood
on the Centinela ranch. This will be
laid out and planted with a border OF
handsomest five-mile drives on the
coast. A station to be called Ingle-
wood has been built on the Ballona
railroad, which has been completed
to this point. This line continues
through the Centinela ranch to a new
seaside resort which will be popular
both in summer and winter. 1t will
combine all the attractions of Coro-
nado Beach and Del Monte. The lots
at Beach Place have been laid out to
conform to the lay OF the land.
The McGarey tract of forty acres in
the Vernon District has been pur-
chased by w. II. Burke, w. f. Fitz-
gerald and J. G. Daily for $40, 900 and
will be heard of later.

A BIoodless shooting,

A bloodless shooting took place last
night about 10 O'Clock on Alameda
street, below Also, in which were con-
cerned May Fuller, who threw vitriol
on bank clerk in San Francisco, and
man named Paulsen, to whom it
was claimed she was married. From
the statements of the parties who
claimed to know the circumstances
which led up to the shooting, it was
made apparent that the cause of the
encounter was another woman to
whom May Fuller objected. 1t was
stated that May Fuller met Paulsen
and threatened to shoot him, where
upon Paulsen seized her arm and de-
flected the revolver, which was fred.
The single shot passed downward,
injuring no one, but attracting large

COAST RAILROADS.
Santa barbara County being
Opened up to Traffic.

SAN Francisco, August 6th.-The
Southern Pacific has laid its track
through Santa Barbara, and it will be
extended at once out to the west of the
town and through the Hope ranch,
purchased by the Company a short
time ago. From that point the line
will be continued northerly to San
Luis Obispo. The best informed rail-
road men say that it is not the inten-
ton of the Southern Pacific Company
to purchase the Pacific Coast Railway,
the narrow gauge line running between
San Luis Obispo and Los Alamos.
The company will no doubt build an
independent line, as the price asked
for the property is somewhat higher
than the Southern Pacific care to pay.
